In the hours after the downing of a Russian airliners over Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula, there was little to no intelligence comment from Western nations. It was only a few days later that they started giving credence to the idea that ISIS, who immediately claimed credit, was actually responsible.
It now appears that the intelligence they suddenly had on the bombing wasn’t internally gathered, as US diplomatic sources say Israel actually provided the two nations with intelligence of their own about the matter. Israel is so far not offering additional details.
It makes a lot of sense, both as to why the US was dismissing the ISIS claim initially, and why they suddenly got new intelligence seemingly out of nowhere. Israel has been closely cooperating with the Egyptian junta on the Sinai Peninsula war and likely would have access to additional channels of information gathering.
The big question this raises, however, is why Egypt continued to deny the bombing all week, and other than anonymous Egyptian investigators, the official story out of Cairo is still dismissive of the idea of a bombing, as they surely would’ve been among the first provided the intelligence by Israel.
Egypt’s junta appears desperate for the story of the attack to go away, fearing the severe damage it may do to their tourism industry, but the continued denials are ringing increasingly irresponsible in the face of growing evidence which has convinced virtually everyone else ISIS really did launch the attack.
likely would have access to additional channels of information
Such as assets inside ISIS? Establishing those could be one motive, for, say, the curious medical treatment and release policy…with visit(s) from the PM… .
But isn't it just embarrassing, generally, that the mighty 'Western' intel can't pick up on such a thing…and, apparently, rely on the very country who the ex-katsa Ostrovsky outed as feeding disinfo to them? …then they act as their propaganda conduit with declarations like an ISIS bombing is 'very probable,' etc.; advertising a 'possible' success of an enemy contrary to the will of the countries actually hurt by them… Might bring up the question: what all do they 'know' about ISIS that isn't provided by Israel? Why weren't US/UK/etc. making a dent in ISIS when it was their stated reason for being there? First Israel stated it favored AQ in the conflict, then said it preferred only that the conflict continue… and it has.
It could well be even more than just disinformation on the part of the Zionists. The Israeli Air Force uses deception as part of its operations, and considering how close to the Israeli border the incident occurred, it would have been very easy for an Israeli F-16 to have run out into the Sinai at low altitude to avoid detection and then popped up to sufficient altitude to fire a missile at the Russian A321, spamming US or Egyptian transponder codes as it did so. The fact that the "West" suddenly has all these details points clearly to some sort of false flag operation, which is is an Israeli specialty.
OTOH, that F-16 would have been visible on military radar of just about anybody.
And the fals flag would be for what?
The need for conspiracies seems weak at present time.
Doesn't US have more leverage with the junta? Won't they or one of them pass the information to US?
Israel cultures relations with all parties ( Hitler and Churchill , Roosevelt and Stalin ) ,when one goes down it switches the entire narrative and blots out the history.
It is cooperating with IS from the get go.
The Zionists do not regard the US as an equal partner in an alliance, rather merely as a provider of resources. The Zionists withhold information often because it gives them power over the US, and even when they do provide information, it is almost always slanted or fabricated entirely. This is but an example of the well-known larger fact that the Israelis have never done anything truly important to help the US.
the analysis is poor.
Israel has shown little or no interest in the fact jihadis in the Sinai have been massacring Egyptian security/police/military for years. can anyone recall the Israelis ever making an issue of it. Israeli MSM has been virtually silent. somewhat similar to Israel having no problem with AQ in the Golan region. rather, Israel has assisted the rebels with medical attention etc.
when the plane went down, I didn't see a single MSM report that had Israel's name on its map, while Egypt, Saudi and Syria were all shown, yet the plane was travelling parallel with the Israeli border. allegedly, there were military drills just over the border same time as the crash involving US, Greek, Polish and Israeli forces. should be easy to confirm or refute.
the one option the MSM has not proffered for the crash is remote turning off of the transponder and the plane then being remotely crashed. it happens.
mind u, i'm not ruling out a bomb in the plane. so many potential suspects if indeed there was.
